I just started working on a huge gwt project and asked myself if there is a smart way to find the gwt java classes while researching the HTML with firebug (or simular).
For example, I’ve a table somewhere on a html page and need to find the gwt class which generated this table.
I’m using gwt 2.4.0, eclipse 3.7, mostly firefox with firebug and the gwt-development-plugin.
You want to use the debugId:

You’ll need to enable the debug module for that: http://google-web-toolkit.googlecode.com/svn/javadoc/2.4/com/google/gwt/debug/client/package-summary.html
